Permits

Effective February 1, 2012, all applications for overweight and oversize permits for Village of Buffalo Grove highways must be submitted using the online webform. This webform can be found at Illinois Truck Enforcement Association website.

Effective October 1, 2014, the Village of Buffalo Grove will no longer be using the above web form for the issuance of permits. We will be switching to an online service, Oxcart Permits.
